Chapter Two, The Goblin King's Surprise Visit

Sarah carried on with her fantabulous existence. Nothing got better. She found herself having to ignore any thought of the Goblin King whatsoever, for fear of making the wish that would truly end her normal life forever.

Having not completely given up on all the boys in her classes, Sarah continued to go on the occasional date. This thrilled her stepmother, Karen, who had been waiting years for Sarah to ask for advice on boys, or ask to buy something new to wear for a first date. Now suddenly young Sarah was going on a date almost every fortnight. Though she never really seemed to like the boy. More like she thought she might eventually warm up to him.

The first boy to get a second date was Gabe. He had manners enough. Treated Sarah well, had bought her flowers on the first date, everything any normal girl could want. But Sarah wasn't a normal girl, and wanted something a little more extraordinary. She however put this down to having too heightened expectations, and agreed to a second date with this boy.

For the second date, he took her to a movie. She hated movies. Watching them with other people at least. What was any fun about sitting in darkness with another person to watch a movie and not talk at all or comminicate in any way? She only liked watching movies by herself.

She did however stay until the end of the movie, and listen to Gabe's excited chatter about how amazing it was, and this was wrong from the book and that, as it had been based of a science fiction novel, not her thing. He eventually started talking about their next date, to a Star Wars convention. There it all went. No third date for dear Gabe.

But Sarah would not be one to give up. She would make her life interesting. She went home that night and jumped onto her bed before opening her favourite book, "The Labyrinth".

Yes maybe she had lived it, but that did not mean she loved the story any less. It was still full of fantasy and adventure and undying love, all things of which she desperately loved.

Then why do you refuse to take Jareth up on his offer?

Because I don't want to marry a man I don't love! Because I like my life in the Above! Because I have a family up here and school, and all my things are here, and normalcy...

But you never really were one to be very fond of normalcy now were you? Or school, or your family for that fact.

Sarah huffed at her inner turmoil and decided to just try and sleep again. Maybe she'd be lucky enough to sleep a night without those cursed dreams. But then again, maybe she was wishful thinking.

She was wishful thinking.

She was plagued, once again by those stupid ballroom dreams that she secretly wasn't even getting sick of. She loved the real feeling she got every time she danced in his arms. When he sung so softly in his ear, as he swung her around, weaving her in between couples wearing goblins masks.

She enjoyed it. But still she was absolutely heart set on making her mortal life less boring. Not that it was ever boring in the beginning. No of course not. She just wanted a little more excitement.

So she went to the book store in search of a new book. Maybe to find a new favourite so that she wouldn't keep reading the same book over and over and over.

After looking through the aisles uncountable times, Sarah resigned to going back home and rereading "The Labyrinth" because she was sure another book would never ever feel the same as it did.

She almost wanted to call the Goblin King. She wanted to talk to Jareth. However if she were being completely honest with herself, she really wanted to dance with him again. To hear him sing again, and feel his arms around her.

Snap out of it Sarah!

After dinner, Sarah tried to watch some TV. Maybe there would be a new obsession somewhere to be found by her this evening. There wasn't. She watched the end of a game show before deciding she'd just say goodnight to her father and Karen and go hide in her room for the rest of the night.

Sarah was quite proud of her room. It was quite beautiful and exciting, holding many surprises. There was no shortage of stuffed toys, board games, books, posters and figurines, all seeming to revolve around the same thing. Her favourite book.

There was Hoggle and Sir Didymus and behind them, a large plush Ludo. There was a large poster of the Escher behind her bed, and a figurine of the Goblin King himself on her dressing table. Next to him was the girl in the gazebo. Her silver dress fanned around her, and Sarah walked up to her and twisted the key, causing the girl's figure to start spinning slowly as the toy itself started to play the tune of the song Jareth had been singing to Sarah in the crystal peach song and in her daily dreams for the last few months.

She stood, mesmerised by the toy until she heard a light tapping on her bedroom window. Turning to it, there sat the large beige barn owl, rapping on her window with it's beak. Something persuaded Sarah to go and open the window, and as she did, it flew in and took the form of a man. Jareth.

"What are you doing here, Jareth? I told you, you need to leave me alone." Her voice was steady, but inside she was really quite glad he had turned up.

"Well you see, my precious Sarah, a King can only be without his Queen for so long." Sarah rolled her eyes at Jareth's abnoxious smirk. "I missed you, my love,"

"Yes, well, that's the rest of your life mapped out for you now isn't it?" Sarah retorted, dropping onto her bed and hugging Ludo to her chest.

"Such determination. Tell me, how exciting has your life been since my last visit? I would simply love to know!" He said, a slight tone of annoyance and maybe...jealousy? Sarah couldn't tell.

"Quite riveting actually! I have been out with friends a lot more often, and I've been on a few dates." The flash of jealousy on the King's face was obvious this time, causing Sarah to smirk. The Goblin King was becoming quite predictable to Sarah now. Apart from, of course, his sudden visit through her bedroom window.

"Have you now? And what throats shall I have the pleasure of ripping out?" His face was now stony and serious.

Careful Jareth, your human is showing. Sarah had to try not to laugh out loud at her inner thoughts. She was so damn funny!

"No one you'd know. Don't worry, Goblin King, it didn't work out anyway." This statement seemed to calm Jareth slightly, and he managed his charming smile.

"Well, though it was simply fine to see you again, how I do love your smiles," She scowled at him, "I should probably get back to letting you convince yourself to wish yourself away to me. Goodnight, you precious thing." And with that he was gone. She was stunned, before letting out a huff and falling back onto her bed. This was getting real annoying.

And the end of another chapter! I went on a frenzy tonight! Hahaha. Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed, review! Reviews will inspire me to continue writing...hint hint. Byeeeeeeee!
